1uS.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Stone enter
tanned company of friends at tea
last Friday evening.
NJ. Finnegan, of the town of SYN
mes, has just brought to this county
! from Leonard Johnson's farm at
| Castle Rock, Thoroughbred
| Norman Percheron stallion. The ami
NAL is fine enc, not quite three
years old, and weighs over 1,SOO
| pounds. This makes another impor-
tant addition to the stock interests OF
the county.
The TRIBUNE office has just re-
| ceived Il new stock OF stationery note
| heads, letter heads, bill heads, en-
velopes, etc, and the business men OF
Montevideo will discover something
of interest to them 10y getting our
prices for work in this line. We DO
nothing but first class work, and will
give it to you in copying ink, or any
other ink, at the lowest possible
prices.
Farmers should now sec that every
thing is ready for springs work. The
seeder. the harrow, the pillow and each
and every other article OF farm
machinery should be put IN perfect
repair; the wood should he sawed
and split and piled in the shed; seed
grain should be selected and cleaned
and the horses and oXen should have
increased feed and be put in working
condition. The exercise OF a little
forethought now will be worth great
deal by and by.
A game called gossip played with
the old carte de visit photographs is
having run now. You shuttle and
deal them out as cards, ami then
everyone in the party tells every
thing mean that can be thought OF
about TIE person represented in the
Photographic 1t makes the play as
lively and interesting lis an old
fashioned sewing circle, and wher-
ever it has been introduced it has
driven out sinch, euchre and Whist.
Eek.
The printing press has made
presidents, and killed poets, furnished
bustles for beauties, polished genius
by criticism. 1t has made nations
get up at roll call every morning,
given the pulpit lungs of IRON and
a voice of steam. 1t has set the
price of bt shell of wheat, and made
the country postoffice the glimmer-
ing goal Of the country scribe. 1t has
assaulted the powers of kings, en-
beIlished the pantry shelves ana
busted. 1t has converted bankers in
to paupers, and made lawyers of
college presidents. 1t smiles and
kicks and cries and dies, but it cam
not be run to suit everybody and the
editor is IL fool who tries it.-EN.

I have been more and more con-
WINGED, the more l think of it, that,
Ill general, pride is at the bottom of
all great mistakes. All the other
passions do occasional good; but,
whenever pride puts i'll its word,
everything goes wrong; and what it
might really be desirable to do, quiet
ly and innnocently, it is mortal1y
dangerous to do proudly.-Ruskin.

The wife's implied agency to act

"Fairmont News Uncle Sam IS a
grand good fellow, but the common
notion that he has been kind to the
Western pioneer IS all u delusion. For
overy cent the government has given
the Western farmer it has received a
hundred dollars in return. In fact
the government has given nothing at
all, for this Western land was utterly
worthless until the pioneer, by his
suffering toll, gave value to it.

MORRlS-THE CAPITAL.
Probable Removal Of the Capital from St.
Paul to Morris.

Faul 10 MOTIFS
1t is at last definitely determined
that Minnesota's Capitol Is unsafe
and that another must be constructed.
1t is also reasonably certain that the
new capitol will not be built in st.
Paul. Minneapolis is making u de-
termned effort to secure the prize.
Naturally st. Paul opposes Minneap-
oils and will try TO keep the capitol
in its present location. The res;lt
will be that some outside point will
be chosen as the future seat of govern
ment and at the present time, no
place is regarded more favorably than
Morris. Realizing this fact, the
people of Morris are organizing and
will unite in offering extraordinary
inducements TO the state to have the
capitol located at tins point. A
section of land, bordering upon and
overlooking the Pomme de Tcrre
valley will be given and capitol
will be built upon it, much better and
SdISi INV PANoS'' NNsH-N~-l
and the whole will be presented to
the state free of charge. The Board
of Trade is considering the matter
and at its next meeting will undoub-
teddy set aside 100000, out OF funds
not otherwise appropriated, and the
enterprising business men of the
city will swell this sum to the re-
quired amount 10y voluntary contrl-
buttons. Many of the large land
owners of the county will also give
material aid i'll raising necessary
funds. All realize that whatever is
done must be done quickly, and no
time will be lost. Several architects
are already at work upon plans for
the proposed building. n committee
of MOrri. citizens will go to st. Paul
Immediately to confer with members
OF the legislature. MesSrS. HiXson
and Costello are actively interested
and the prospects for success are ex-
ceeilin9ly far. Further develop
meuts will be given next week.

Chicago Times: There seems likely
to be no occasion for applying any of
the principles Of the new railroad bill
to interstate passenger traffic. This
branch ofthe railroad business is re-
lieved of complications, at least in
the winter season, by the railroad
stove, which burns the passengers to
death before they can go from one
state to another.

self possession. Boldly walking right up to
the first policeman she saw she thus addressed
him: .You must he some of our folks. You
dress just like papa. I've lost my mamma,

She ultimately reached home. 1t appears
that her father is policeman, and when She
saw an officer, dressed as she had seen him,

Where he soaked his timepiece and his new over.

The Chicagos went forward all verdant and green;
Like cannon irecracker on the Fourth of July,
Tiiat club III the morning was clipper and ''fiy;"
But like The same cracker on the fifth of July,
That club in the evening was knocked high and
dry;
For the ST. Louis boys spread their bats on the
blast
And hammered the life out of the balls that they
cast,
fill they carried the day with their skill and their
spunk,
And waIioped their foes with staggering skunk;
While the pride and the hope of the great windy
town
Was picked like chicken and truly done Brown.
Now the man from Chicago who staked his whole
pile
Parades the city with never a smile;
While down back alley his fantasies float
Where Isaac stands guard DER his new overcoat

enriched with gliding. The mirrors over the
mantels have heavy carved gold frames. TIE
chimney is backed with tiles. The furniture
is in part covered with rich brown that
harmonizes with the curtains and in part
with az dark turquoise blue that gives charm

On the second floor the three rooms have
been thrown into one for the club room; the
pillars that take the place of the walls that
were removed, and which now support the
floors above, have been paneled, and some Of
the interspaces filed with carving, gildetl,
that produces happy effect. The room has
an air of substantial comfort. At one side of
